On Monday, I posted the news sources parts 1-4. On Tuesday, I posted parts 5-8. On Wednesday, I posted part 9. Judging from the volume of mail I have received, something wierd is going on out there. Almost no one received part one. Almost everyone received parts 3,4,5,7,8 and 9 truncated in some form or another. No one reported any problems with part 2 or part 6! I have reposted parts 1,3,4,5,7,8. This time, I sent them to a few uucp neighbors insead of our usual news feeds. Apparently they are getting through intact this time. If you do have a problem, please include the Path: that the article took. I can't conclude anything from a one line sentence from 5 uucp hops away that says "part 5 arrived truncated". With more information, perhaps I can determine where/what the problem is. (This applies to bug reports also....) Arpanet sites may ftp the source from seismo with the anonymous login. the file is pub/2.10.2.src.tar. Those of you with direct uucp links to seismo can uucp either the entire source tar file (about 480K bytes) or the individual parts that I posted to net.sources. For uucp, the file names are: ~uucp/2.10.2.src.tar The Entire source directory. ~uucp/news.src.[1-9] Part [1-9] from net.sources Also, I have posted most of the doc directory (the man pages are coming. really.) So far there are 3 parts with at least 1 more to come. The installaltion guide is in part 1. Make sure that you read it carefully. The documents may be uucped from seismo as: ~uucp/news.doc.[1-3] Part [1-3] from net.sources At this time there are no other uucp sites that have to correct version. However, I expect some of the major ones to announce the availability when they are ready. ---rick
